What is your idea of a Global Leader?

What words or phrases express your idea of a Global Leader?... at AnswerGarden.ch.

View Imagine Leadership

This six-minute video asks viewers to imagine how leadership can address some of the most pressing problems in the world, including a vibrant economy, society, and environment.
Nitin Nohria and Amanda Pepper of Harvard Business School's Leadership Initiative collaborated with XPLANE to create this video in order to generate a discussion of the value and importance of leadership to address some of society's most pressing problems.
"It is my desire to inspire people of all ages and social demographics to think about leadership on a broad level, contemplate what it means to them and what individual impact they can have when it comes to leading," says Nohria.

one with music, one without
length: 0-2 min, or any
show notes, commentary
need video cameras
should involve availability of technology for knowledge
could be both negative and positive
show how students use technology
how technology can be used to connect and learn

Form Teams

Individual pitches
Join a project group
Determine what human and physical resources you will need (actors, location, props, etc)
